SPRINGFIELD, IL – State Sen. Shane Cultra (R-Onarga) discussed the conviction of former Governor Rod Blagojevich on federal corruption charges after a northern Illinois jury returned a verdict on numerous counts.
“This will help us close an ugly chapter of state history. Our state needs to return to the days of honest and clean government,” Cultra said. “The people of Pontiac and the workers at the Pontiac Correctional Center can speak to the abuses of power by the former Governor, because he tried to shut down the prison twice. Our state has been set back decades because of the poor choices made by the Blagojevich administration.”
